3. The obligations imposed by this Agreement shall not apply with respect to any
Confidential Information which (a) is in the public domain at the time of disclosure to
Receiving Party, (b) becomes part of the public domain after the time of disclosure by
publication or otherwise through no fault of Receiving Party, (c) Receiving Party lawfully
possesses at the time such information is provided to Receiving Party, and such
possession is reflected by the written records of Receiving Party, or (d) Receiving Party
lawfully obtains from sources other than Disclosing Party, which sources are not under
any obligation to Disclosing Party to maintain the information confidential.
4. Receiving Party (a) will limit its use of the Confidential Information to the sole
purpose of evaluating the Proposed Transaction; (b) will maintain the Confidential
Information in strict confidence, using the same degree of care it uses to protect its own
confidential or proprietary information; and (c) will not disclose the Confidential

employees who might have access to the Confidential Information of the confidential
nature thereof. Receiving Party may disclose the Confidential Information only to those
officers, employees, agents or independent contractors of Receiving Party who have a
specific need to know the Confidential Information in order to perform that person’s

of this Agreement. Such measures may include, without limitation, requiring
independent contractors to sign a non-disclosure agreement before obtaining access to the
Confidential Information. Each of the parties hereto acknowledges that nothing herein
shall be construed as granting to the other party any right or license under any copyrights,
trademarks, service marks, inventions or trade secrets now or hereafter owned or
controlled by such party. Each Party shall notify the other orally as soon as possible, with
confirmation in writing within one (1) week with any unauthorized access to, or use of,
the Receiving Party’s Confidential Information that could result in substantial harm or
inconvenience to the Disclosing Party. Such notice will include the extent and scope of
the breach and specific names of customers (if applicable) impacted by the breach, as
soon as such information becomes available.

to all communications between Disclosing Party and Receiving Party relating to the
subject matter of the Proposed Transaction. Without the prior written consent of the
Disclosing Party or the Receiving Party (as applicable), neither party shall disclose to any
person the fact that the discussions or negotiations are taking place between the
Disclosing Party and the Receiving Party, or any of the terms, conditions, other facts
relating to or the status of such negotiations or transactions.
6. It is recognized that irreparable injury will result to the Disclosing Party and its
business if the Receiving Party breaches this Agreement, and, therefore, in the event of
any actual or threatened breach by the Receiving Party, the Disclosing Party shall be
entitled to all rights and remedies available at law and in equity including, without
limitation, the right to obtain damages for such actual or threatened breach, the right of
indemnification, and the right to enjoin the Receiving Party and all other persons acting

in actual or threatened breach of this Agreement, from commencing or continuing, and to
remedy, the activities which constitute such actual or threatened breach. If Disclosing
Party seeks an injunction in order to enforce its rights under this Agreement, Receiving
Party specifically waives any requirement that Disclosing Party post a bond or any other
security. The parties agree that if Receiving Party should breach this Agreement,
Disclosing Party would suffer substantial financial injury and that the Receiving Party
shall indemnify the Disclosing Party for any loss, claim or damage, relating to the
unauthorized use or access, or loss of the Confidential Information.

under this Agreement by order of a governmental agency, legislative body, or court of
competent jurisdiction, Receiving Party shall promptly notify Disclosing Party thereof,
and upon the request of Disclosing Party shall fully cooperate with Disclosing Party in
contesting such disclosure. If after such contest disclosure is still required, then
Receiving Party shall seek confidential treatment of such information from such
governmental agency, body or court. Except in connection with failure to discharge
responsibilities set forth in the preceding sentence, neither party shall be liable in
damages for any disclosures pursuant to such governmental, legislative or judicial order.

or hereafter created by copy or reproduction pursuant to this Agreement shall be and
remain the property of Disclosing Party. Company agrees to permanently destroy or
purge any and all such Confidential Information and any and all copies and reproductions
thereof, on the date that Company’s bid is due for the Proposed Transaction (“Bid Date”).
Company shall provide Disclosing Party written certification stating that such
Confidential Information has been destroyed. The requirements of confidentiality set
forth herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement or any subsequent agreement
and the return or destruction of such Confidential Information.
9. In accordance with the GLBA, each party agrees to implement appropriate
security measures and technical safeguards designed to meet the objectives of regulatory
guidelines governing safeguarding of nonpublic personal financial information of
financial institutions’ customers. Each Party will cooperate with the other’s efforts to
monitor the compliance with these objectives.

and assigns. This Agreement may not be assigned by either party without express written
consent of the other party.
11. This Agreement shall continue and shall become a part of any subsequent
agreement between the parties relating to the Proposed Transaction. If no agreement is
entered into between the parties relating to the Proposed Transaction, all obligations of
confidentiality, non-disclosure and non-use shall survive completion or termination of the
relationship between the Receiving Party and the Disclosing Party.
12. In the event either party hereto finds it necessary to employ legal counsel or to
bring an action at law or other proceedings against the other party to enforce any of the
terms, covenants or conditions hereof, the party prevailing in any such action or other
proceeding shall be paid all reasonable attorneys’ fees by the other party. In the event the

prevailing party secures a judgment, all attorneys’ fees, as determined by the court and
not by a jury, shall be included in any such judgment.

any Confidential Information that may have been provided to a party prior to or after the
date hereof, and continues to govern the delivery of Confidential Information until
terminated by written notice from either party to the other, except that notwithstanding
the termination of this Agreement and a party’s return or destruction of Confidential
Information pursuant to the terms hereof, the parties continue to be bound by their
obligations of confidentiality and their other obligations hereunder with regard to
Confidential Information disclosed prior to termination.

subject matter hereof. No change or modification, alteration or addition to any provision
hereof shall be binding on either party unless such change is in writing and signed by an
authorized representative of both parties. This Agreement may be executed by the parties
in one or more counterparts, and each of which when so executed shall be an original but
all such counterparts shall constitute but one and the same instrument. Facsimile and e-
mail signatures shall be deemed originals.
15. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power, or privilege
hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any singular or partial exercise
thereof preclude any further or other exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power,
or privilege hereunder.
16. In the event that one or more of the provisions, or any portion(s) thereof, of this
Release are deemed to be illegal or unenforceable, the remainder of this Release shall not
be affected and each remaining provision, and any portion(s) thereof, shall continue to be
